I went over to the park yesterday morning after my one our morning walk. I wanted to get some photos of the roses there before they all withered in our extreme heat. We had days of 107 and 105 last week. This weekend, it's down to the low 90's, but next week the temps climb up again. I don't think the rose garden at the park will last much longer. I found these pink roses and, as you can see, they are already wilting. Sunday Stills Challenge for May 20, 2012.
Nice. You just reminded me to get outside and shoot the cereus flower before it folded up for the day. At 8am I was almost too late already.
ReplyDeleteLovely color. Too bad the roses in your area is almost done for this year.
ReplyDeleteI know this is a bit off target, but have you heard about what has been going on with the Big Horn Sheep in San Diego Co ?

I live in a very mild place and the roses are rampant, but where we usually are, they are quickly wilting...
ReplyDeleteTrue, nothing to beat the roses.
ReplyDeleteLovely! The heat has been here also, but now we are having high winds.
